It's December 2014 and the CCSWCD and the Springwater Garden has hosted a Pollinator Planting Day. Each class participated in planting native plants for the garden; from red flowering current, white oaks, blue elderberries, to a variety of sedges. All of these plants will provide food forage and homes for different pollinators. We expect to see hundreds of native bee, moths, and fly pollinators, as well as bats and bird pollinators.
With this new natural learning lab and classroom, students will be able to expand their garden and science education. In gardening classes, students will be building structures for pollinator habitat, participating in pollinator surveys and counting, and learning native plant propagation. Keep your eyes out for future student projects and education pieces about the importance of native pollinators.
A final thank for to Clackamas County Soil & Water Conservation District for providing this amazing space and for all their support.
